Don't have a specific answer to that but I do believe it's possible to achieve. If ones doesn't you might as well hand over all power to the mega corps.
They wouldn't bring overseas job back without political power being handed over. The only thing that ramps up domestic production in a capitalist system like this is innovation, and for YEARS our industries stagnated. What you have going on right now is a battle between industries disguised as a social issue. The people bankrolling politicans who are climate deniers are almost largely established industry magnates who see the writing on the wall, sooner or later things will change and their industries may go obsolete. The people bankrolling clean energy are promising jobs and economic security to the working class, without exactly going all-in on making the transfer smooth. And what we have is a polarized political landscape where politicians stoke our arguments on this level on behalf of their interests, while we approach crop failure, increases in cataclysmic natural disaster potential to the degree that insurance companies don't want to exist in certain areas anymore, increased climate migration (which stirs up the border issue), while we dont have sufficient means of moving away from sh*t that makes all that worse.
